America’s Finest City is also among the best cities for tourists in 2016 – at least according to a newly-released report.

Personal finance company, ValuePenguin, published a report examining the “Best Cities for Tourists” in 2016 and, as it turns out, San Diego-Carlsbad ranks No. 8.

The rankings on the most visitor-friendly cities looked at 200 metropolitan areas in the United States. Criteria used in the analysis included a city’s walkability, safety and weather, as well as tour guide wages and other factors such as how many hotels and breweries operate in a city.
